After shopping at the burner workshop, Ichigo came to the reception room of a company that manufactures and sells hand pumps, which he looked into while at the mansion.

A short distance from the city, this company seems to handle a wide range of products, from full-scale hand pumps for deep wells to antique pumps for gardening, although the size of the company is not very large.

Several hardcover books describing the history of hand pumping and well digging were placed on the bookshelf in the reception room where Ichiyoshi was passed.

The author name column of the book is accompanied by the name of this company, so I guess this company oversaw it and created the book.

Remove one book from the bookshelf, sit on the sofa and sip the tea that was served, turning and flushing it to read.

The contents of the book seemed to be written thinking about the structure and digging of time-by-time wells, as well as the history of work surrounding wells, and not getting tired of reading them.

The ethnic history of the area around here has also been shared for commentary and is very easy to read.

As Ichiyoshi read through the book for a while, a middle-aged man in work clothes came in after the door in the room was knocked.

When a man takes his business card out of his pocket, he breaks his hips and greets him nicely.

Ichigo stood up reflexively and bowed his head as he received his business card.

The business card contained the title section chief.

"Thank you for coming to work this time. You said you wanted to talk to me about buying a hand pump and drilling a well?

"Thank you for your response, despite your sudden inquiry. I really wanted to talk to a professional..."

When the section president urges me to sit in the chair again, Ichigo gives an explanation of the well water in question in Isteria.

The description remains as I heard from Isteria's well diggers.

Explain the poor nature of the water coming out of the digging area, and the towel turns bright red when washing with the water, according to the condition of the dirt advanced by the digging.

"I see," the section chief heard as he nodded a good explanation, opening his mouth.

"The water out of the well probably dug by Shino is what we call 'kanake water', which is high in iron and useless. The soil from which the water begins to emerge is a layer of sand called" Yamazuna, "and the water coming out of that layer is not very good in nature."

According to the section chief's explanation, the depth of the wells being dug in Isteria and the condition of the soil often results in poor quality water containing such iron.

They say that when it rains, the water clouds and the water level rises, and sometimes the water level rises to such an extent that it creaks in the pattern.

However, on the contrary, less rain often causes the well itself to wither, which is an unstable well to obtain water.

From the condition of Isteria's well described by Ichigo, the section chief told me that there was a fine layer of sand called 'Umizuna' when pushed through a layer of rock bed beneath Yamazuna, from which quality water would gush steadily.

By the way, the thing about the water coming out of the rock floor seems to be called 'Wowamiz'.

"Well, how about we do something about that rock bed and crush it and dig it?"

"Perhaps. Or you could shift the digging position and look for a position without a rock bed. If Shino can tell us where the well was dug, we can also look into the formation for a fee, how about it? We can work on our behalf."

"Oh, no, that's okay. We want to try it all ourselves, so if you just sell us the tools we need, we'll do something about it."

When Ichirano said so, the section chief nodded yeah.

"Really? Really? Well digging is a romance, hey. Make sure you try your best. I can give you the tools and instructions you need, so I hope you have them all at home."

"Thank you. And I want to buy this book with you. If I was reading it, I'd fall for it."

"Oh, really? It's a book written by the president, so I'm sure you'll be happy to hear what he has to say."

As such, Ichigo was to align the tools with the hand pressing pump, listening to explanations from the well digging professionals.

One gasoline engine breaker for grinding rocks, two small well diggers for striking out wells, two bronze hand pressed pumps (which seem to be a cracked and popular product because of their flavor in shades) and one air compressor for use in blowing air during mining were purchased by Ichiran.

Because the items purchased are heavy, the carrier should be asked to carry them directly to the mansion.

An engine breaker is a device that pushes a metal flea attached to the tip of the apparatus onto the rock bed and crushes the rock with a blowing force caused by vibration.

It is a substitute that is about 80 cm in diameter and weighs more than 20 kg on the body, but it is also easy to get around because it is equipped with a petrol engine, and the striking power is even worse.

I was also introduced to a tool called a smaller concrete hammer, but the Isteria takes gasoline with a drum can, so I bought a larger engine breaker to try to make it more powerful because of it.

A small well digger, as its name suggests, is a tool for digging a well, and the tool handled by this company was to keep digging even a small hole about 20 cm.

The way to work is to first twist and rotate the handle of a cylindrical well digger protruding to the ground to dig the soil.

Then you pull the well digger out of the hole and dump the dug dirt outside.

The excavated soil can be delivered inside the well digger, but the tip of the well digger has a valve and the soil will not fall off, so you can dig deeper into the hole at any cost if you repeat this task.

However, when it hits a hard rock bed, on top of the maneuver, it is manpower that pulls up the well digger, so there is also a slight limit to the depth at which it can be dug.

The depth you can dig will mean you can pull up the well digger to the limit.

The engine breaker that I bought this time makes a lot of noise, so if I actually use it, I plan on becoming an unpopular place outside the Isteria.

It would work for example if farmland were to be built away from the river.

Small well diggers should be useful in places without rock beds, so they are great for trying and digging around the city.

It should take some time, but not noticeably, to work on, as there is less space to dig, on top of not having to worry about noise.

In addition to this, I was given one ultra-steel stone flea that had been left alone internally without being used.

I was originally thinking of buying them at the home center, but they don't sell stone fleas for rock grinding at the home center.

I really wanted these analogue tools if I had to penetrate the rock beds all over the city of Isteria, so I decided to ask the section chief for about 30 copies for convenience.

Because of the high number of orders placed, he asked "what to do with so much buying" but was deluded when he said he would distribute it to an acquaintance in his care.

It takes a lot of time to crush the bedrock by hand, but with the stone fleas and the hammer, the work can proceed discreetly.

The efficiency of rock grinding operations will be exceptionally higher than that of the bronze stone fleas that appear to be currently in use, but we must be absolutely careful about the loss of tools and so on, as well as the selection of personnel to be hit by the work.

I guess it would be easier if I taught you how to make iron, but the discovery of iron should have been a revolutionary event in ancient history, so it wouldn't be a good idea to convey the method with the thought of it.

Most likely, depending on the situation with the neighbouring countries, it would be better to put in the iron method, so when you get back to Isteria, you might want to talk to Nalson or Zirconia about it.

If the situation is such that iron is already made in other countries, sooner or later the time should come when iron will also be made in Arcadia, so it would be all right to teach the method with one good hand.

In case you're going to tell me how to make iron, you should also buy books on iron making technology.

In addition to these machines purchased, I also received a copy of the blueprint of the hand-held blower that was used during the Meiji period and a copy of the blueprint of the hand-held pump that was used throughout Japan in the early Showa period.

With these blueprints, it may be somewhat laborious, but mass production of tools will also be possible in Isteria.

"Thank you for purchasing so much. You can always get in touch with us if anything happens, we hope you'll let us know"

"Thank you. I'd really like to ask you to do it then."

Thus, well drilling tools and various blueprints were successfully obtained, and Ichiran followed the pump company.

That night.

Ichirano was staying in the city's business hotel by jumping in.

I will sit back on the bed and open my college notebook and put a revocation line on the item of work I did today with a ballpoint pen.

The work done today consisted of purchasing glass-related items, purchasing well drilling-related tools, collecting blueprints for agricultural machinery such as powder grinders and grain shedding machines, and collecting materials for ice rooms.

After leaving the pump company, Ichiran bought powder grinders and other materials at local libraries throughout the city, and obtained blueprints for those devices and materials for ethnic history.

He then drove all over the place and succeeded in gathering materials about the ice room as well.

Information on parts that cannot be supplemented by books is collected using the Internet in an online cafe and printed and filed in a printer provided with it.

I was wondering if I would have to go talk directly to a specialist about ice rooms and agricultural machinery, but I would not have to ask a specialist for now because I was able to get a fair amount of material, plus the blueprints themselves.

I'd also like to find out how to manufacture an ice style home refrigerator, but the turn of the refrigerator should still be ahead of me for the time being, so I stopped getting my hands on it this time due to time issues.

Incidentally, all the materials and blueprints collected were prepared in two parts, thinking that Barletta would also want to see them.

"You're really tired today... No, I'm tired today but am I right..."

Lie on your back on the bed with your college notebook on your lap and take a breather looking at the ceiling.

I still have to move around a lot tomorrow, but all that's left is the purchase of books and tools Barletta asked me to do, as well as the procurement of groceries, books, appliances, etc for myself.

The buyout will start in the afternoon as generators and well digging tools arrive at the mansion tomorrow morning.

"Uh, speaking of which, I also need to find out how to make butter... and a centrifuge. Where can I buy that?"

When the best was blurry for a while blurring about that, the wearing melo rang from my cell phone in my pocket.

Take it out of your pocket and see who you're dealing with.

It was his father, Mahji, who called me.

"Hello."

"Whoa, is that a good idea? Copper, tin, and propane cylinder that you asked for, but they'll arrive at the Mansion at 10: 00 a.m. the day after tomorrow. I asked for the shape of the ingredients with a round bar, but that's okay? I even put a gold knob on it."

"Yeah, thanks. It'll help."

I managed to get the convenience of the ingredients within the scheduled days, and Ichigo was relieved.

I was worried because I didn't know exactly how long it would take to procure metal materials, but it seemed like it would have taken me a long time to get over it.

If there is also a gold scarecrow, it would be easy to cut the material.

"And, uh... you're not in any danger, are you? You know, getting caught up in trouble..."

"Hmm? Haven't seen anything dangerous yet... a little. The trouble is... well, I can't help it if I don't have a choice... hmm"

Returns a reply that does not boil down to Maki, who says things like stuffing his back teeth.

It's a subtle conversation, like we don't know what we're trying to say.

"... hey, now for you"

"Yeah?"

"... No, I'm sorry. Nothing. Call me anytime you need anything else."

"Uh, hey."

"What the hell..." Yiliang snapped to his cell phone, which suddenly ran out of calls.
